A Midland woman was arrested Tuesday after a police officer found her in possession of 15 grams of cocaine during a traffic stop, according to court documents.

Amanda Yvonne Gonzalez, 23, was being held Wednesday on a $30,000 bond for a second-degree felony charge of possession of a controlled substance between 4 and 200 grams.

A Midland police officer conducted a traffic stop Monday on West Illinois Avenue. The affidavit didn’t include the time.

The officer said he smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle and found some marijuana on the driver. The officer later searched Gonzalez, a passenger in the vehicle, and found a plastic bag containing about 15 grams of cocaine, according to the arrest affidavit.
